Federal funding opportunities present a high barrier to entry for most community-based organizations. This is particularly true for those that are BIPOC-led, BIPOC-staffed, and/or smaller, and/or lower-resourced. I've seen the supplier diversity issues that ensue in the private sector play out in terms of federal awards to nonprofits---in terms of who gets them and who does not. From awareness (of the opportunities), to application, to compliance, to budget (to be able deliver on a reimbursable govt contract), these opportunities are not readily accessible to most CBOs. When I led a community-based nonprofit CDFI, National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders supported us in accessing large-scale grants from agencies including U.S. Department of the Treasury and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These grants were game changers for our organization and our balance sheet. With generous funding from Truist, NALCAB will similarly now scale to support 20 organizations intensively to pursue federal funding opportunities across a range of agencies. Congratulations to the winners of this competitive grant and accompanying TA! #CrackingTheCode
NALCAB has selected 20 organizations to receive grants with the support of the Truist Foundation. These awards of funding, technical assistance and policy advocacy will help Latino- and BIPOC- serving nonprofits access federal funding opportunities to uplift communities and businesses that face barriers to financing.
